This has been one of the best experiences of my life. The IVHQ team in the office and the team on site were incredibly helpful, gave you advice on anything and everything and made you feel so welcome. Our host mother Amanda looked after us and made the most incredible food - it was different every single day! If you have the opportunity, volunteer with IVHQ - you will not regret it.

I recently returned from a great trip to Sri Lanka. It was everything I dreamed it would be. I was extremely lucky with my home stay and lived in the jungle next to the longest river in Sri Lanka. The family were extremely welcoming and took good care of me. The food was fantastic and the family did everything possible to keep us well fed. I chose to help in a disabled centre and because I am a therapist I was able to do physiotherapy with the babies and small children. I was so happy with the project I stayed the entire 3 weeks. All in all I had a wonderful, and sometimes challenging experience. As a mature volunteer I felt prepared for whatever experiences life brought up and I was well prepared and well travelled. I would recommend this type of trip to anyone who wants to travel alone. Ruth Cartwright, 62 (UK Volunteer in Sri Lanka)
I have learnt a lot through my volunteering project and have a greater appreciation for my own life. The accommodation was fantastic. My host family were kind and welcoming. They were patient with me with culture differences and language barriers. Nepal is a really great place to volunteer. The staff and people are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. At no point during my two month stay did I feel lost or unsafe. I really recommend this program!
